80's Movie Weekend



Yes, this was a real movie, so no, that is not a made up poster. Back in 1981 when all the execs at Disney were drunk and had no direction whatsoever with their movie projects, someone or someones came up with the brilliant idea at a comedy/adventure called "Condorman." Starring Michael Crawford, Oliver Reed, Barbara Carrera, and James Hampton - all of whom I've never heard of, this movie was panned by critics and did poorly at the box office. Still, it is a product of the 80's, and we don't discriminate here!

a trailer that was made post "Condorman," but still a pretty good trailer nonetheless...



here's the intro and first three minutes of this movie... and I use the term "movie" very loosely...
